Di(propylene glycol) methyl ether acetate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Di(propylene glycol) methyl ether acetate is colorless liquid

Uses

Di(propylene glycol) methyl ether acetate is a solvent, it is also used as a formula stabilizer and to improve skin penetration in topically applied acne preparations containing erythromycin.

General Description

Di(propylene glycol) methyl ether acetate (DPMA, 3-(3-methoxypropoxy)propyl acetate) is extensively employed as a solvent in coatings and silkscreening inks. It is also used as a cleaning agent. In vivo, DPMA rapidly hydrolyzes to dipropylene glycol methyl ether (DPM), thus, the in vivo effects of DPMA are expected to be the same as those of DPM.

Flammability and Explosibility

Non flammable
